Fig. 2From: High-throughput sequencing technology to reveal the composition and function of cecal microbiota in Dagu chickenDistribution of the cecum microbiota composition at the rank of phylum. a 12-w OD group. b 12-w ID group. c 18-w OD group. d, ID group. The proportions of each phylum in the 12-w OD and 12-w ID groups are as follows: Bacteroidetes: 51.57Â %, 26.7Â %; Firmicutes: 21.56Â %, 16.49Â %; Proteobacteria: 9.77Â %, 9.86Â %; Verrucomicrobia: 4.64Â %, 4.26Â %; Spirochaetes: 3.60Â %, 5.73Â %; Cyanobacteria: 2.46Â %, 3.71Â %; Euryarchaeota: 2.39Â %, 1.46Â %; SAR406: 0.17Â %, 22.10Â %; Deferribacteres: 0.68Â %, 4.83Â %; and Fusobacteria: 0.14Â %, 2.51Â %. The proportions of each phylum in the 18-w OD group and 18-w ID group are as follows: Bacteroidetes: 53.66Â %, 35.00Â %; Firmicutes:19.89Â %, 17.30Â %; Proteobacteria: 11.37Â %, 8.20Â %; Verrucomicrobia: 3.37Â %, 9.09Â %; Spirochaetes: 3.05Â %, 1.40Â %; Cyanobacteria: 1.30Â %, 2.23Â %; Euryarchaeota: 3.03Â %, 4.68Â %; SAR406: 0.37Â %, 15.54Â %; Deferribacteres: 0.95Â %, 2.31Â %; and Fusobacteria: 0.19Â %, 2.34Â %Back to article page
